Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that provisions of the Code concerning single prime projects in which a public institution of higher education is a construction agency awarding building construction contracts in excess of $250,000 apply through December 31, 2032 (currently, December 31, 2026). Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill extends the deadline for provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code that allow public institutions of higher education to use a "single prime" contracting method for building construction projects exceeding $250,000. This single prime method allows for separate bidding on five specific subdivisions of work (plumbing, heating/piping, ventilation, electrical, and general contract work) and can be awarded to a single contractor who then manages subcontractors. The bill changes the expiration date for these provisions from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2032, meaning universities can continue to utilize this contracting approach for a longer period.
